If we had to use pick word to describe Bold & Beautiful‘s Li, it would be “fierce.” That’s particularly true when it comes to protecting Finn. In fact, it’s almost ironic that she and Sheila have a common bond in their motherly instincts, but will never see one another as co-parents. And while Sheila tends to take things way overboard when it comes to Finn, it’s beginning to appear that she and Li have that in common, too. The only thing we have yet to figure out: What it is that Li thinks Luna and Poppy can do to hurt Finn.

But that’s a hot topic in next week’s episodes, with the latest confrontation between Li and her sister — which began in the episode airing Friday, November 10th — kicks into high gear. And this time, it sounds as if we might just get a little bit more insight into what’s at the heart of all this drama. After all, it can’t just be that a long time ago, Polly caused a little bit of a scandal by sleeping with the wrong person… right?

“Li doesn’t believe anything that comes out of Poppy’s mouth,” Naomi Matsuda told Soap Opera Digest. And although they come close to having a bonding moment — or at least as close as these two women come — it doesn’t last. But for at least that moment, “the audience will see her as more of a human being, especially since she’s been on a rampage lately.”

Will the audience, however, get more answers as to what’s behind Li’s determination to drive Poppy and Luna out of town? Matsuda teases that Li “gives Poppy a partial reason, even though there’s a deeper reason, but it’s more than Li expected to say.”

Meanwhile, look for Luna to get closer to RJ as the young couple get an invitation which could very well put them under the microscope!
